Handball. Four-point match at the stud for Angers-SCO

If journalists like to use – sometimes wrongly – the expression of four-point match the meeting between the SCO and Cournon-d’Auvergne this evening at the stud farm is undoubtedly to be placed in the category of those extremely important shocks which punctuate a season. Even if he repeats over and over again that he is too great, after only 6 days, to talk about mathematics Issam Tej also recognizes that in all matches between direct opponents for maintenance, points count double.”

“There is better”

And a quick glance at the current Proligue ranking and the schedule for this 7th day allows us to definitively agree with the Angevin coach when he says that this meeting is one of those important matches that must be won .

Not content with returning, in the event of victory, to the level of their opponents of the day, the Angevins could in fact take the opportunity to also overtake Besançon which welcomes Pontault-Combault, one of the contenders for the climb. Or even to almost get back to the back of the peloton since Sarrebourg, which has 3 points more than SCO, has a difficult trip to Sélestat and Pau, in the same accounting situation, hosts Frontignan, author of a thunderous start to the season . Simple shots on the comet of a “addicted” of the calculating machine? Maybe not so much if we refer to the latest performances of Williams Manebard and his teammates. In any case, that’s what Issam Tej thinks. Since Dijon and especially since Billère, things have gotten better. With the draw against Cherbourg. And even with the defeat at Pontault-Combault which we have nothing to be ashamed of since we were leading at half-time against a team which has much greater ambitions than ours. But who finally distanced himself after a new and terrible slump from the Angevins after returning from the locker room (9-1 in 7’30” of play).

Convinced that the work done all week on the game with one less – one of the weak points of the SCO – will bear fruit, Tej nevertheless remains convinced that his team is on a good dynamic . That it would obviously be good to confirm this evening against Cournon in this high-stakes match which could allow the Angevins to definitely kick off the season .
